Be it 1nioWn that I, GEORGE J .VON GLAHN,

a citizen of1theUnited Stases, residin at Brklyn, in thecounty O'E'Kingsand tate o1 New York have invtanted ceftain new ai1d ueful Improvementsin Pipe Fittings,

of which ehe folldwing is a speeification.

h This inventi0i1 has relation t0 sink fitjunge; and has for an obgectt0 prov1de an improve'd elbowcouphn'g adzipted to rece1verelativeirioveinelnt and t0 -'prform other p1ipbsies a's"vvill be reentlyobvious.

Another ob]ect 0f the 1nvent1on 1s 130 piovide an iinpfoved ;ouplinghaving the Eharacteristieg above s e'tff orth and in additi0n theietobeing -designed for u'se in eonneeti0n with tw0 difie'rent kinds 015faucets, namely, those of the turnpl1ig type having a handle operatingin a hor1zontal plane, and those of the cone valve type having a handleoperating in a vertical plane, the eoupling being designed to resisbstrain plac'ed upon the faucet by operation of the handle in eitherdireetion preve-nting dislodgment 01" the faucet relative to the sink.In addition to the foregoing this invention comprehends improvements inthe details 013 construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafterdescribed and parti tzularly set forth in the appended claims.

In the accomp'anying drawings in Which similar and corresponding artsare designated by the same characters 01 reference throughout theseveral viewsin which they appear. V

Figure 1 is a view in side elevatio-n, partly in seetion of a faucet andfragments of a Sink Wall showing the embodiment therein 01 my invention.

Figure 2 .is a view in perspective of my improved elbow coupling.

Figure 3 is a view 01" a slightly modified for1n 0f elbow eoupling.

Figure 4 is a view in side elevation 0 another for1n of faucet Wih thecorresponding form 01 1ny invention applied thereto.

With reference to'the drawings, 10 indieates die back Wall of a sinkhaving' an opening 12 in which the threaded extension 13 0 1 a fauce 14extends tl1e latten having aflange 15 which engages the fronb surface ofthesaid Wall. I1; Wlll be notd that the opening 12 is= larger indiameter than the extension 13 or smaller than the'flange 15, so as topermit adjustments of the faucet relative to the opening 12 when makingconnection with the plumbing, sinc'e the faucet: may not alvvays belocated centrally 0f the openings 12. -The stand pipe of the y plun1bingsystern .is sh0wn at .16 andithr6aded1y engaged 1thereupon is an elbow17 which alsl0 receives the threaded extension 13. As shown in Figure 11a 111g 18 is forined i1pon the outer side 0f the coupling to engage theTear Surface 01 the sink wal1 and another Ing 19 is provided tosimilarly 'engage the sink Wall, said last mentioned lug being lo'oateduponthe imier side of the coupling and between the ends thereof as.shown moreelearlyin Figure 3. These lugs are formed integrally with theelb0w during the process 01 casting. The fauce=t is rotated s=o* as t0screw the extension 13 tightl-y into the cmipling andit will beseen thatthe sink Wall is tightly gripped between the flange 15 andthe lugs 18and 19. In this manner the sink and faucet are held immovably togetherand'may not be displaced while subject to ordinary use. Also the standpipe 16 is thus enabled 130 afford an additional support for -the sink.The

faucet shown in Figure 1 is of the type einbodying a vertieallyreciprot:able cone valve and it will be obvious that a9 the same isactuated a vertical strain is placed upon the eh tire fauceo. Owing tothe facts that the lge 18 and 19 are in vertically aligned relation thismovement of the faucet is effectually resisted.

1 have illustrated in Figure 3 a modified form of coupling consisting'of a vertical portion 20 wlnich is1ormed 'with a right angular bend atits upper end terminating in a flanged internally threaded portion 22designed 130 receive the threaded extension 13 o1": the faucet. 'Thisformis employed where the stand pipe is of lead inscead 01 iron and inthe form shown in Figure 1. In the case of the lead stand pipe a wipej0int is effected between ehe stand pipe and the portion 20. In thisinstance I have shown a pair 0f lugs 23, formed integrally With theflanged portion 22 and the side 01 'the portin 21 extending along thelatter
